    How to make a Snare
    First I would get a piece of snair wire about two feet long and I would put a loop on one end of it and pull the the other end out through it. Then I would put a loop on the other end and tie a piece of a good strong string to this end. Then I would leave a round ring for the ribbits head. A snair is always set on the path where the rabbit runs.
